Located at the end of a long farm lane, this delightful cottage is perfect for peaceful romantic getaways in the countryside. Explore the local market town of Holsworthy (5 miles), enjoy an afternoon’s fishing at Tamar Lakes (5 miles), or set out along the stunning South West Coast Path before returning for a cosy evening in front of the wood burner in this charming cottage.

With exposed stonework, beams and ceiling trusses, this sympathetically converted barn is a cosy bolthole for two. Prepare romantic meals in the traditional timber kitchen area before dining beside the French windows nearby. When the sun is shining, enjoy al fresco meals on the patio beyond before settling down inside to watch your favourite film or plan the following day’s activities.

Set within 16 acres of land, long peaceful walks can be enjoyed directly from the doorstep, during which owls, deer and buzzards can all be spotted. On sunny days, head for the coast for a swim, surf or sunbathe on Bude beach (12 miles), or for an adrenalin rush, the water sports at Tamar Lakes never disappoint. Stock up on supplies in nearby Holsworthy, see the beautiful displays at RHS Rosemoor (14 miles) or visit the famous Dartington Crystal (14 miles) to pick up a memento to take home.

We had a lovely last minute break at willow cottage. Couldn't fault the cottage. Furniture and bed very comfortable. Although the kitchen was small it was very well equipped and the cooker easy to use. It was great to have a completely safe and secure enclosed back garden, even our Chihuahua's couldn't escape.

The cottage was charming but dark and smelled of dog urine. I bought some air freshener, but it still pervaded the space. On reflection, we should have given more thought to booking this accommodation, as it clearly states that up to four dogs are permitted.

Great location, perfect for two people and a great secure garden for our dogs. Lovely and warm, in fact we had to turn the heating down at one point. Fabulous log burner on the last few colder nights! Holsworthy town near by and Bude too was an added bonus. Can also recommend the local pet shop in Holsworthy for anyone with dogs staying.
